It has been an extremely busy week, with the boys being on Spring Break, helping our neighbours find a suitable apartment, and looking at colleges and universities. I am hoping this week will bring me more time to read. I have tried to gain more time with the
Clear Away the Clutter Read-A-Thon as well as the 24-Hour Read-A-Thon. Naturally life got in the way of my plans, and I am hoping for more time to read this week, however with my neighbour having back surgery and their upcoming move, it is not looking as though this week will be a stellar one for reading.

This past week nine reviews went up:
Today I am planning to read:
  • How Clarissa Burden Learned To Fly by Connie May Fowler
  • Watchlist based on an idea by Jeffery Deaver

Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.

The Sunday Salon 14 March

It seems like just yesterday I was trying to decide which college suited me best and now I find myself helping my oldest son on his college search. How did the decades pass me without my knowing? I keep saying it, yet it is the truth, life is too short. Enjoy the moment you are in, do not worry about the past, leave it behind where it belongs. While you are at it, stop fretting about the future, doing so robs you of the joys of the moment, I learned that one the difficult way.

If anyone has any suggestions for small colleges/universities in the Midwest/East (IN, OH, MI, PA, NY, VA), I would be interested in learning about them, since I did not grow up in this area.

This past week twelve reviews went up:

Today I am planning to read:
  • Captivity by Deborah Noyes
  • An Unfinished Score by Elise Blackwell

The Sunday Salon Valentine’s Day

I would like to wish everyone a very happy Valentine’s Day!

This past week was most definitely not a good one for me. I am still recovering and getting frightfully behind on reading. I am quite literally reading as much as my health, time, and family permits. So far I am not behind, however beginning Sunday week, I will have numerous reviews due in the span of one week. This would not have been a problem if there had not been a death, a hospitalisation, and an illness. I am more than a wee bit stressed. I shall focus on this week first. I needed a good whinge so thank you to anyone who read this. I feel a little better now.

This past week one spotlight and four reviews went up:

Today I am plan to finish:

  • Moonlight Falls by Vincent Zandri

I also plan to begin reading:

  • Eternal on the Water by Joseph Monninger

Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.

The beginning of February brought with it a fair deal of pain, rendering me unable to read as much as I had hoped. However, this week did end with a delightful and much anticipated snow storm, so I cannot complain.

EDIT: Due to a death in the family I do not think I will be getting much reading done this week.

This past week six reviews went up:

Today I am plan to finish:

  • Last Night In Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel

I also plan to begin reading:

  • The Singer’s Gun by Emily St. John Mandel
